Not that surprising mate, most sports teams in the world make the fans jump through a hop and do a dance for season tickets. Well at least in the big time leagues. A big ask filling a 90k stadium for 60+ games a year, I reckon it's diminishing returns. People will be less stressed about getting tickets to games and let a few slip by them the more tickets a place can sell. Though I reckon Liverpool has enough national fanbase to do it every week.

Not to blow our own trumpet so to speak but we usually sell out for round 3 league Cup games against lower league opposition. I'm not exactly sure how many fans we could get into Anfield on a weekly basis but I'm pretty sure it would be more than 90k.

LFCMike 3,009 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It wouldn't be 90k every week, definitely not. Somewhere between 70-80k isn't out of the question though I don't think. There might be some empty seats for midweek games against bottom half opposition if we had a 70k capacity for example but it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Having a ground that might be too big for the odd game is better than it being too small as it currently is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it, midweek games were always easier to get tickets for Everything would depend on ticket prices and how easy it is to access the tickets.

Dr. Gonzo 8,182 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Got to say... the Brazilian FA's been very annoying this season. First trying to get our players banned from playing for their clubs if they want to comply with COVID rules for international travel (cunts), but their scheduling for Brazil v. Uruguay means Alisson & Fabinho are likely to be ruled out from playing over the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,271 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The club need to get Salah tied down now. Stop fucking about, pay him what he is worth.

We have heard from many in the past who weren’t happy when what should have be seemingly straightforward contracts took months to sort out. Pay him the wages. He is the best in the world right now, imagine us without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree that it will be a huge mistake if it doesn't get sorted but these things take time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Harry Kane is worth £150m as quoted then Salah is worth upwards of £180m... nobody as things stand can afford that kind of transfer fee plus the wages he would demand. In short.. I think he's definitely staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on 250k as it stands. You simply have to break the wage structure for him, he’s a generational player and doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon.
